2025-01-07	Sparsh Banerjee	en	On Chrome, in Docs, but still showing 0 pages 0 words.
2024-04-12	CescoAiel	en	Using this in brave, always says "0 pages, 0 words total"... Ergo, completely useless, uninstalled!
2021-03-20	Brendon Teong	en	Hey. This is awesome. But maybe you could make a more customizable one.
2021-02-01	John Blackledge	en	155 pages, 271 words... Pardon?!
2020-12-20	Rika S.	en	Works as intended, but I wish there was an option to exclude header and footer text from the total word count.
2019-08-20	Susan Ward	en	511-page document, which according to Google Docs has over 117,000 words - this extension says it's got 26 words! No use.
2019-03-04	Steve Hall	en	Very nice and quickly helpful. Only improvement I'd like to see is a way to exclude the header and footer text.
2019-02-06	Rex Wall	en	Does what it needs to do.
2018-12-10	Jacob Forte (Craft__Dinner)	en	Does as advertised, but... 1- The empty bar takes the whole length of the page. 2- The word count partially covers the "explore" and "Hides side panel" functions. I was also dissapointed to see it doesnt display the number of highlighted words, however the extension doesn't advertise itself as such...
2018-01-29	Anton Albek	en	It works great, however I would like to see an option to make it appear in the left corner instead of the right. It would also be nice if it showed the amount of words selected, it also does not work for the Danish alphabet or any other foreign languages so only use if all you write is English.
